I would like to see his biography but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Just like Hadis Alemayehu I would like to know about him more. Why? I don’t know. I just like him so much!

I think that we have seen more than enough negative and traumatizing images (war, famine, sickness, death etc…) of Ethiopia that make us feel helpless, hopefless and forget the beautiful side of Ethiopia. I am not saying that we should deny the situation. With God’s help, we should do all that’s in our power to do something about these sad realities. Negative images do make us aware of the current situation (they are only reality revealers) but they can not inspire us, encourage us, give us hope or give us give us the power to do something about it. If they are not balanced with positive images, they are very discouraging and distractive. A pessimisic artist will only show problems and poverty but an optimistic artist who wants to give hope will not focus on the problem or depict the problem but what Ethiopia could be when these problems are dealt with. Also, it shows the beautiful side of Ethiopia. Artist Afework Tekle’s paintings do not show disdain for the poor but respect for the dignity of the poor, the rich history and culture of Ethiopia, and a belif that there is a better tomorrow for our land. I think that the question that we should ask before we critisize those that have done something to be prominent enough represtent Ethiopia (show a positive image of Ethiopia) on the world forum, we should think twice and say “what have I done?”

He despises the poor overtly.

Don’t tell us he is a fighter type.
A good artist but quite unlikeable personality.
